i traced your shape
and counted the days
and you just erased me.
i hit the ground
and i make no sound
as your heels pierced me.
i scarred my face
to conquer my pride
and you cocooned in your misery.
i plucked you up from a bed of nails
and hung me for your salvation.
can i come down?
there's been a mistake.
can i come down?
isn't this what you asked of me?
you lost faith. blinding white.
and just before my chest caved in,
i climbed back down
i caught your scent but the wolves beat me to you.
stopped
behind the place where we met.
found strands of your dress they were all that was left.
i dug you up the night you died
and this is what you asked me,
"when will the sun overthrow the eclipse. i'm just waiting for this night to end.
leave me here, just go."
as the dusk set in.
as the sickness spread.
i took one glance behind.
and you had disappeared.
slipping
right through my fingers.
gripping
as tight as i can.
slipping
right through my hands
we can't look back.
they've got the searchlights on us.
stay close you'll be alright.
with shadows as my guide.
i'm looking for the answer.
i will be the one who breaks the constant midnight.
tossed to the swine.
i make the climb from the abyss.
lost.
into the night to the abyss.
i trace your shape to memory
i traced your shape.
eraser.
